This was another of my "experiments" where I take a cheap wine and lose it for a few years in the depths of the cellar to see if it comes out appreciably better.
And the answer is: ............................................................................(somekindofmomentousdrumrollpleeze)................. nope.
Its fine as an 8 year old cheap Petite but nothing special or noticably "better" came out of it. Lightly flavored, drinking as well as any technically well made $8 bottle might be but worth the save? I think not. Oh well, that's what experiments are for. Occasionally you hit the lotto, but not often...

meh. Fruit is fine, but tanins are gone and it's quite a bit flabby

Bouquet de cassis et un velouté impressionnant. Il reste en bouche un goût subtil et a merveilleusement accompagné un cipaille.

Full bodied, with strong blueberry on the palette. No evidence of fading. Should be fine through the year.

As always, a fine, richly flavored, satisfying and great value wine.
